Chapter 40: The Ghost Village
In the restaurant, two figures flew down the window, instantly burrowing into the passing crowd, and a moment later, there were bursts of curses in the restaurant......
The two walked around a few streets with gloomy faces, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief, glance at each other, and at the same time snort angrily, and without saying a word, they walked straight down the street......
The sky gradually darkened, and the two walked to the edge of the county in a daze, where there was no bustle and noise, only a sparse house came into view. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What now?" Duan Yuyan was the first to speak.
"What else can I do, I just ate a bully meal, do I have to do it all over again. Liao Fan said unhappily.
"We're penniless, and now accommodation is a problem, and we'll have to sleep on the streets in the future. Duan Yuyan said indifferently.
Hearing this, Liao Fan sighed helplessly, squinted slightly and looked at a village not far away, pondering silently, and after a while, he said: "Try your luck and see if there are any kind people who take us in for the night." ”
After a short time, the two entered the village, and looked around with the help of the moonlight, barely able to see the sparse houses.
Liao Fan stretched out his hand to stop Duan Yuyan, stopped and hesitated, according to life habits, every household should light a candle at this moment, but the village in front of him was very strange, not only did there not have any light, but also he had never seen a single figure, and the silence made people hairy.
"What's wrong?"
"This seems to be an abandoned village, be careful!"
"It just so happened that the accommodation problem was solved. ”
"Don't you think there's a problem, it's certainly not normal to get the whole village out of here, why don't we quit and find another place to stay?"
"What is there to worry about, if you are afraid to live outside, I will go in and live. After finishing speaking, Duan Yuyan pulled his legs and continued to walk inside.
Liao Fan looked helpless, so he had to follow, his eyes vigilantly scanning the houses on both sides......
"Boss, look ahead. Duan Yuyan stopped moving forward and said indifferently.
Liao Fan was stunned, only to see a faint candle flame in a courtyard on the left side in front of him, in this abnormal situation, there was a normal situation, but it made him feel even more abnormal.
"Ahh
Just as he was thinking, a loud crow broke the dead silence.
"Let's go and see. Liao Fan took a deep breath, instead of thinking nonsense, it was better to find out, thinking of this, he didn't hesitate, and said in a deep voice.
The two of them cautiously walked to the front of the courtyard, gently pushed the tattered wooden door and slowly opened it with a "creak......
The two of them stepped into the courtyard, their eyes locked on the lit room, and through the paper window, two figures floated inside.
Liao Fan was just about to speak, when he felt that the corners of his clothes were being pulled, he frowned slightly, and for some reason, he turned his head to look at Duan Yuyan.
At this time, Duan Yuyan glanced at Liao Fan, stretched out his finger and pointed to a big tree in the courtyard.
Liao Fan looked for his fingers, and suddenly his body trembled, only to see a red coffin parked under the tree, and he was sure that this place was unusual.
The door to the room opened, and an old man in a coarse gray robe walked out......
"Hell, help, help......"
Looking at each other, the old man was stunned, and suddenly he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and he crawled into the house with a roll......
"Uh......" Liao Fan was also taken aback by the old man's actions, and stood in place at a loss.
"Hmph, where do we look like ghosts, it's ridiculous!" Duan Yuyan disagreed and said indifferently.
Liao Fan shook his head bitterly, nudged Duan Yuyan, warned him not to talk nonsense, and then walked into the house with a hard head, and hurried to explain clearly, if it was not good to make a mistake, wouldn't that add to the sin.
"Black and white impermanence is here, oh my God, what did our family do wrong!" the old man lamented with a kitchen knife across his chest.
"Don't be afraid, old man, we are not ghosts and gods, you can see clearly, we are passing by here and want to spend the night, something happened suddenly, disturbing the two of you, and please forgive us." Liao Fan looked at the old man and an old woman behind him, and said softly.
Hearing this, the old man was slightly stunned, rubbed his cloudy old eyes, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around to help the old woman who had already collapsed on the ground behind him.
"I'm scared to death, how did you come here?" the old man asked vigilantly.
Seeing that the old man and the old woman were fine, Liao Fan smiled awkwardly, and then introduced himself and Duan Yuyan, and explained tactfully, it was getting late, and he wanted to spend the night passing by here.
The old man and the old woman looked Liao Fan up and down by the candlelight, and then they were relieved.
"You two haven't eaten yet, have you?" asked the old man.
"Uncle don't bother, we've already eaten, by the way, how did this place become like this?" asked Liao Fan.
"Hey, what a sin, woo......" The old man sat on the chair and wept silently, and the old woman on the side also cried.
Liao Fan and Duan Yuyan glanced at each other, and for some reason, they stood in place and did not speak.
After a while, the old man seemed to be relieved, stopped crying, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "You two hurry up and leave here while it's still early, otherwise your lives will be lost!"
"Uncle, this has confused the two of us, please explain things more clearly, otherwise we really don't know where to go in this black light?" Liao Fan was puzzled, although the old man did not speak maliciously, but it was indeed a little ambiguous to leave like this without knowing it.
"This is Lijia Village, which was originally full of people and thriving, but half a year ago, everything changed, moving and moving, fleeing for their lives, in short, everyone is trying their best to stay away from here. ”
"Why?"
"Evil ghosts are haunting, making young men and women here go crazy or die, and there is no way for the official to send people to investigate, Lijia Village is considered to be unlucky. ”
"Evil ghosts?" Liao Fan was stunned, since he cultivated martial arts, he didn't believe in the words of ghosts and gods at all, and he only had lofty martial arts ideas in his heart, how could he be afraid of these ridiculous things.
"You didn't see the tragic deaths of those men and women, or you wouldn't have doubted what I said. ”
"Uncle, everyone in the village is gone, why don't you two want to leave, aren't you afraid of evil spirits?"
"Where can we go, stay here and survive, if we leave, I will starve to death on the streets, I would rather die at home, besides, ......" The old man began to whimper again.
"And what?"
"My son has been haunted by evil spirits, and he can't leave here for half a step, don't you see that I have prepared the coffin, God is watching us send white-haired people to black-haired people. ”
Hearing this, Liao Fan sighed, on the one hand, he didn't believe that there would be ghosts and gods in the world, and on the other hand, he couldn't bear it, didn't a person who studied martial arts just want to take care of the injustice in the world and cut off all evils, otherwise what would the halberd in his hand call the heavens.
Thinking of this, Liao Fan said softly: "Uncle, the matter has come to this, why don't you give it a go, you might as well take the two of us to see your son, maybe there is a chance to turn around." ”
The old man was stunned, looked at the two good-looking teenagers in front of him in shock, and then shook his head again, and said: "Curiosity will kill you two, young people don't be angry, let's go quickly, don't make trouble." ”
"Hmph, didn't you say that the two of us are black and white, just fight with them, don't be verbose, annoy me, believe it or not, I will tear down your house?" Duan Yuyan had a gloomy face, smashed the table with one palm, and said coldly.
